Back by popular demand!

Now in its 18th year, BetterWork Media Group’s (BMG) Breakfast Club series continues connecting leaders over breakfast to strengthen the link between learning and development and business strategy. 

Last year, we introduced a new format to this popular series hosted Chief Learning Officer and Talent Management featuring regular, virtual, mini-events starring top CLOs and learning and talent leaders. In response to the incredible reception of 2022, we are pleased to continue this format this year.

Each mini-event lasts about two hours and consists of a 60-minute panel discussion with L&D and talent practitioners, a 20-minute FASTtalk presentation and a 20-minute research segment, garnering real-time data from attendees and prompting discussion of the day’s themes, followed by closing remarks from BetterWork Media Group’s editorial staff.

Differentiated Development: Rethinking Inclusion in Learning

October 26, 2023

We often think too small when it comes to our development offerings. We think, as leaders, we are the ones best positioned to choose the people who have the potential to become great leaders. But many of the traditional methodologies used to select leaders are very subjective.  In an increasingly diverse environment, leadership looks different […]Watch Now

Tapping Into Untapped Talent

August 30, 2023

2020 research from Accenture and Harvard Business School explores the phenomenon of “hidden workers,” or the millions of people who want to work and are actively seeking work, but who remain “hidden” from most businesses that would benefit from hiring them by the very processes those companies use to find talent.

Brick by Brick: Building a Coachability Culture

Organizational investment in coaching has grown substantially in recent years, with good reason: Businesses need managers who can lead teams through change, stress and economic upheaval.

April 26, 2023

The metaverse means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Some say it’s the blending of the digital and the real worlds, or the augmentation of experience with a digital layer.

Building Great Leaders: The Manager’s Role in Employee Engagement

April 11, 2023

Your organization is only as strong as its weakest manager.

Owning the Leadership Role: Learning Leaders’ Expanding Skillsets

March 29, 2023

The upheaval and challenges of the pandemic, the move to hybrid work and the push for big upskilling and internal mobility initiatives have finally given L&D leaders the seat at the table they’ve long been seeking.

Collaboration Equity in a Hybrid World

February 28, 2023

Collaboration looks different for every organization, and it looks different overall than it did three years ago, as many more companies are implementing permanent hybrid work models.
